It’s one of the grandest traditions in football: Overreacting to opening week. In this episode, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard try not to indulge, however, despite the Ottawa Redblacks’ gift-wrapped win over the sluggish Calgary Stampeders. Topics up for discussion on the RWB this week include:

At 00:40 – HOW ’BOUT THEM BOMBERS?!?!!?

01:01 – the potentially career-ending late hit on Saskatchewan Roughriders QB Zach Collaros by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ Simoni Lawrence and the two-game suspension handed down to Lawrence. (Spoilers: More must be done before this gratuitous dangerous nonsense ends.)

13:50 – last week’s games, plus some opinionating on the Montreal Alouettes’ new look.
